Spiritual facets and the Six Day War

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson

In spring of 1967, as the Arab capitals paraded
their arms and openly spoke of overrunning the Land of Israel and casting
its inhabitants into the sea, a great panic enveloped the land. The media
was almost unanimous in its feeling that the small Jewish state was outflanked
and outgunned by its enemies, and stood little chance of survival. It was
obvious that the world was going to stand by once again and let happen whatever
may happen.

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe
of righteous memory spoke at the Parade of Jewish Unity where he assured
his audience that Israel would be safe.

The Rebbe stood out as a voice of confidence and encouragement.
"The Guardian of Israel neither sleeps nor slumbers," he said,
quoting the eternal words of Psalms; G-d watches over His people wherever
they are, especially in the Holy Land.
